“What kind of ‘Leadership’ is THIS???

compared to...”

You have compared the loss of the ability for God’s church to function to the ability of individuals to function.

God told PRESIDENT WILFORD WOODRUFF to set aside the practice of polygamy for a while.

A Prophet who follows revaluation from God our Father in heaven is the kind of leadership we have.

This assertion is UNSUPPORTED by any evidence.

I have only 'compared' what your chosen religion's SCRIPTURE says to what your chosen religion now PRACTICES.

The discrepancy is for SLC to resolve; not me.

 The Manifesto was canonized in the LDS Church standard works as Official Declaration 1[3][4] and is considered by mainstream Mormons to have been prompted by divine revelation (although not a revelation itself), in which Woodruff was shown that the church would be thrown into turmoil if they did not comply with it.[5] Some Mormon fundamentalists dispute that Woodruff received any such revelation.[citation needed]

There seems to be a bit of confusion about the 'manifesto' among the faithful.
 
What IS clear from the actual text of it, is that WW did NOT claim that GOD told him to stop what GOD told JS to start.
